The product comes in a variety of configurations to satisfy different levels of fire-ratings, from EI30 to EI120.

When exposed to fire the special intumescent interlayers turn opaque and expand to form a fully insulating heat shield. This effectively reduces the transmission of radiated and conducted heat for up to 120 minutes. The opaque insulating interlayer blocks the view of the fire which minimises panic and acts as a guide for emergency services to indicate the presence of fire.

CONTRAFLAM can be used in a range of formats, depending on the application:

UV Stable, so the same product is suitable for exterior and interior applications.

Large pane sizes possible (extensive test data is available).

Very bespoke: in IGU form, CONTRAFLAM can be combined with products that offer a wide variety of performance characteristics.

Handling & Processing

Installation

Proper installation of fire-resistant glazing is critical to the fire-resistance of the products. The glazing should always be installed in exact conformance to the test certification documentation. Minor changes to any elements of the installation can have a massive impact on the fire-rating of the glazing, which could mean, for example, that there would no longer be enough time to safely evacuate a building.
